Edgar Davids has made it clear who he sees as top dog at his club - and it is
himself. The Barnet player manager has chosen to wear the number 1 shirt for
the forthcoming season, claiming that this demonstration of his importance
will start a “new trend”.

The 40-year-old - a former Champions League winner - donned the shirt, usually
worn by the team’s goalkeeper, for Barnet’s recent pre-season friendlies. He
has now confirmed that he will continue to wear it during this season’s
Skrill Premier campaign.
